Great little garden to walk through. In February, it's not very pretty, but I'm sure it is in flowering months. They have a koi fish pond, educational area, trails, and a building you can rent out for events. It's free to get in and takes about 20 minutes or so to walk the grounds. Lots of places to sit and relax as well.

This place is amazing! If you've been multiple times or have never been at all, there is so much to do here! It's absolutely one of the top places to see in Charlotte. They have live music most weekends and lots of different events. Check out their website for what is happening as well as what trails are open. If you don't want to do anything other than hang out, you can do that, too. Pay to park and enjoy the area. Bonus, they are dog friendly!

Lots to do at this park and lots of trails to walk around. I didn't see any hummingbirds which was disappointing but the area sure was pretty. The park has a small pond, trails, volleyball courts and lots of parking.
